I am assuming that when you said you restart the services, you mean that
you do a netbackup stop and a netbackup start.  If that is correct, when
you stop netbackup and do an ipcs -qa, do you still see the message
queue?  If you do, you should use ipcrm to remove the message queue
before restarting Netbackup.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup jobs get queued...

 


Hello,

I am going through a big issue in my environment, i am using veritas
netbackup 4.5 on TRU64 & the problem is whenever we restart the services
of our master server after that all the backups get queued. I have also
logged call with veritas technical support several times but they are
also unable to give me any satisfactory reason/resolution. I observed
that until the "CBYTES" & "QNUM" in "ipcs -qa" reduce to zero all the
jobs get queued & it takes around 3-4 hrs to reduce this value to 0.The
Backup jobs get active as soon as the "CBYTES" reduced to 0.

here is the output of "ipcs -qa" when backup gets queued;

root>ipcs -qa

Message Queues:
T      ID        KEY    MODE         OWNER    GROUP  CREATOR   CGROUP

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
